Author: E. E. HewittHymnal: The Finest of the Wheat No. 3 #189 (1904)Hymnal Title: The Finest of the Wheat No. 3First Line: “I will arise and go to my Father”Refrain First Line: “I will arise and go to my Father;”Lyrics: 1 “I will arise and go to my Father;”
Long have I wandered far from his face;
Humbly confessing all my transgressions,
Now will I seek his pardoning grace.
Refrain:
“I will arise and go to my Father;”
From the far country, stormy and wild;
“I will arise and go to my Father;”
He will receive his penitent child.
2 “I will arise and go to my Father;”
Bowed with contrition, burdened with care;
At the King’s table, spread by his bounty,
Is there not bread enough and to spare? [Refrain]
3 “I will arise and go to my Father;”
Tattered and bruised, and weary of heart;
He the best robe will bring for my wearing,
Riches of blessing freely impart. [Refrain]
4 “I will arise and go to my Father;”
Surely he’s watching, calling for me;
Looking in love from heaven’s bright windows,
Ev’ry returning footstep he’ll see. [Refrain]Topics: InvitationTune Title: [“I will arise and go to my Father”]
